Oh. Yes… This could work.
You know, there’s a lot you can’t write about as a Priest. For instance, a lot of what we do during any given day, be it working with the disenfranchised, counseling, Confessions, etc.
But when I’m not doing any of that, and I’m not reading, and I’m not at the gym, and I’m not in my office, and I’m not intently studying modern Church happenings, or doing laundry or trying to clean my room or sitting around with my feet propped up, or deep in prayer, I’m hard at work in the garden.
(This area needs a lot of work.)
(It’s going to be the Marian area.)
(In case you hadn’t noticed.)
That’s something I can write about. But it’s a work in progress, and definitely needs a bit more time. Still, it’s something to look forward to.
But you know, I just can’t bring myself to post the picture of the actual garden as it really looks. I think I prefer denial and the vision of what might be, what will be, to the cold, harsh realities of life.
On the other hand, what harm could there be in posting a picture of the back garden as a ‘before’ kind of thing, while anxiously awaiting the far off completion and the eventual ‘after’ photos?
Yes, that’s a very good idea. In fact, here is the garden as it actually looks with no Photoshopping involved. It’s very much better than it was before, and it’s a fair start to a kind of… hmmm.. why yes, that’s absolutely a very smart way of doing things.
AAAUUUGGGHHH!!!!!!!
::hyperventilating::
OK, yes, that’s much, much better.
Excuse me. If you need me, I’ll be deep in prayer.
